Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of capacitor technology, and more specifically, to an oil-immersed capacitor that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-immersed capacitors are power components that use insulating oil as the core insulation and heat dissipation medium. The core structure includes a core, insulating oil, and a sealed metal shell. They are commonly used in high-voltage, high-power applications such as power compensation in power systems and motor starting. The core is made of metal foil electrodes wrapped alternately with insulating paper / film, and is completely immersed in mineral oil or synthetic insulating oil. The sealed shell prevents oil leakage and impurities from entering. During operation, the insulating oil not only isolates the electrodes from conducting electricity but also conducts heat from the core to dissipate heat. Its advantages are strong insulation performance, high voltage resistance, and good heat dissipation, making it suitable for high-load conditions. However, it has significant drawbacks: the insulating oil is flammable and easily oxidized, and may burn and explode in case of failure. Regular oil quality checks and maintenance are required. In addition, it is large and heavy, limiting its applicability in miniaturized and high-safety-requirement scenarios.

[0003] In the current technology, the core of an oil-immersed capacitor is sealed in insulating oil and placed inside a casing. During long-term operation, it will continuously generate heat. Although current products are equipped with heat dissipation structures, the heat dissipation efficiency of these structures is insufficient and cannot dissipate the internal heat in time. The long-term accumulation of heat will cause the pressure inside the casing to gradually increase. When the pressure exceeds the casing's tolerance limit, it is easy to cause the casing to rupture, and in severe cases, it may even explode, directly affecting the safe operation of the capacitor. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to fully and completely disclose the invention and to fully convey its scope to those skilled in the art. The terminology used in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings is not intended to limit the invention. In the drawings, the same units / elements are referred to by the same reference numerals.

[0028] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used herein (including technical terms) have their common meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Furthermore, it is understood that terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be understood to have a meaning consistent with the context of their relevant field, and not to be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] This invention proposes an oil-immersed capacitor that facilitates heat dissipation, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes:

[0031] The housing 1 contains a capacitor body 2 fixedly installed inside. A cooling mechanism and a temperature measuring mechanism are installed on one side of the housing 1. The cooling mechanism includes a cooling chamber 3, which is fixedly installed on one side. A cooling pipe 31 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooling chamber 3, and the cooling pipe 31 is arranged in an S-shape. A return pipe 32 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and the other end of the return pipe 32 is connected to the bottom end of the cooling pipe 31. A cooling mechanism is installed on the cooling chamber 3. A one-way valve 33 is fixedly installed on the housing 1 and is fixedly installed on the return pipe 32. A first liquid pump 34 is fixedly installed on the housing 1. The inlet pipe of the first liquid pump 34 is connected to the housing 1, and the outlet pipe of the first liquid pump 34 is connected to... There is an inlet pipe 35, the other end of which is connected to the top of the cooling pipe 31. A water injection pipe 36 is provided on the top side of the cooling box 3, and a drain pipe 37 is provided on one side of the cooling box 3. The drain pipe 37 is compatible with the water injection pipe 36. By using the pipes, the heated insulating oil inside the shell 1 is extracted to the outside of the shell 1. This not only achieves cooling of the insulating oil under good sealing conditions outside the shell 1, but also improves the cooling efficiency by cooling the insulating oil outside the shell. Furthermore, cooling the capacitor body 2 by cooling the insulating oil effectively avoids directly cooling the capacitor body 2, which could easily cause a sudden drop in the surface temperature of the capacitor body 2 and damage the capacitor body 2.

[0032] Furthermore, the cooling box 3 is equipped with a cooling mechanism for cooling the insulating oil that flows slowly inside the cooling pipe 31.

[0033] Specifically, the cooling mechanism includes a second liquid pump 4, which is fixedly installed on the cooling box 3. The inlet pipe of the second liquid pump 4 is connected to the cooling box 3. The outlet pipe of the second liquid pump 4 is connected to an extraction pipe 41. The other end of the extraction pipe 41 is connected to a miniature chiller 42, which is fixedly installed on the cooling box 3. The other end of the miniature chiller 42 is connected to a return water pipe 43, which is fixedly installed on the cooling box 3 and connected to it. By pumping the heated liquid in the cooling box 3 into the miniature chiller 42 through the second liquid pump 4, the heated liquid is cooled again by the miniature chiller 42. Then, the cooled liquid is transported back to the cooling box 3, which facilitates the continuous cooling of the insulating oil in the shell 1 and also facilitates the rational use of water resources.

[0034] Furthermore, a temperature measuring mechanism for real-time monitoring of the insulating oil inside the housing 1 is installed on one side of the housing 1.

[0035] Specifically, the temperature measuring mechanism includes a mounting plate 5, which is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1. A temperature display 51 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 5, and a temperature detection sensor 52 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the corresponding side of the housing 1. The temperature detection sensor 52 and the temperature display 51 are electrically connected via a signal line. By using the temperature detection sensor 52, the temperature of the insulating oil inside the housing 1 can be directly monitored in real time, preventing the housing 1 from cracking or exploding when the insulating oil inside the housing 1 is at a high temperature. When the insulating oil inside the housing 1 is at a low temperature, the capacitor body 2 inside the housing 1 cannot work normally. At the same time, the temperature display 51 allows for a direct view of the temperature inside the housing 1, providing greater convenience for the staff.

[0036] The working principle is as follows: During the use of the capacitor body 2 inside the housing 1, the capacitor body 2 generates a certain amount of heat. At this time, the temperature detection sensor 52 monitors the temperature of the insulating oil inside the housing 1. When the temperature value displayed on the temperature display 51 is high, the switch on the first liquid pump 34 is activated. The first liquid pump 34 draws the insulating oil inside the housing 1 into the liquid pipe 35, and then transports it through the liquid inlet pipe 35 to the cooling pipe 31 inside the cooling box 3. Before the insulating oil is drawn out, a certain amount of cold oil is injected into the cooling box 3. As the insulating oil slowly flows into the cooling pipe 31, the cold oil in the cooling box 3 can be used to cool the oil. The high-temperature insulating oil in the cooling pipe 31 is cooled down. After cooling, the insulating oil flows back into the shell 1 through the return pipe 32 and mixes with the high-temperature insulating oil in the shell 1. By cooling the insulating oil in the shell 1, the capacitor body 2 in the shell 1 is cooled down. After the coolant in the cooling box 3 is used up, the switch on the second liquid pump 4 is turned on. The second liquid pump 4 is used to pump the heated liquid in the cooling box 3 into the micro chiller 42. The micro chiller 42 cools the heated liquid down again and then sends the cooled liquid back into the cooling box 3 to facilitate continuous cooling of the insulating oil in the shell 1.

[0037] This invention, through the arrangement of a cooling chamber, cooling pipe, one-way valve, miniature chiller, return water pipe, temperature display, and temperature detection sensor, allows the insulating oil inside the capacitor body to be drawn into the cooling pipe during use. The cold water in the cooling chamber cools the slowly flowing, high-temperature insulating oil. The cooled insulating oil is then transported from the bottom of the casing to the interior, thus achieving cooling of the capacitor body inside. Simultaneously, a temperature sensing component inside the casing allows for real-time monitoring of the internal temperature, ensuring the capacitor body operates at a suitable temperature. Furthermore, the miniature chiller allows for further cooling of the liquid inside the cooling chamber after use, ensuring that the liquid in the cooling chamber can effectively cool the insulating oil inside the casing for extended periods.
